But why did Windows put the pagefile in D, because i have low disk space in C?

Could well be since you say you let Windows manage it entirely.

Is the large amount of space occupied on C due mainly to a lot of or some particularly large programs (thus not seeming moveable to D: ) or is a large bit of it data?

You really should consider relieving that congestion on C: drive (per my prior and Layback Bear's suggestion) even if your weren't having the D: drive activity problem, it's really rather tight at 91% full.

If you aren't able to conveniently breakdown what's occupying the most space on C: drive, here's a link to a freeware utility called Wiztree that many here use and can make tracking down that usage by folder and sub-folder very easy: http://antibody-software.com/web/sof...ur-hard-drive/

It's hard to release any more space, i have unreal engine 4 installation and my project there (and i need them to be in the SSD to really benefit from the speed so it doesn't compromise my workflow). I'll try to use windirstat to see if i can release some space.

Might want to check your system restore allocation/usage if you haven't already done so. Of course, this is all further down the path of being able to have page file on C: drive and presumes that is the root of your problem - not sure we have that 100% at this point.

BTW - @xlar8or , since you took the Fall Creator's Update over the last month or so, have you done a Disk Cleanup (system files option) to clean out Windows.old (assuming you don't need to roll back) and tidy up any other unneeded files from C: drive? Windows.old could be taking up a goodly chunk of space if it's still there.
